Demand for rail services continues to grow. Intermodal leads the way, as more and more international traffic flows into all U.S. coasts. It is a good time to be in the railroad business, as revenues reflect. The state of the industry is robust, but it continues to face challenges, some driven by its success. This paper explores briefly the capacity issue and how research initiatives can be designed to help create solutions.
